"you're better off now than you were four weeks ago." >>> for the first time in its presidential election polling pew research center now ranks romney ahead of obama on favorability. with romney leading 50-49 it's a huge turnaround from march, when obama was beating romney 55-29. in fact, all the polling winds are at mitt romney's back. and i'll ask are voters finally catching on that obama's campaign message running on empty? whoa. here now we welcome back sam cedar, host of the nationally syndicated "ring of fire radio." jim garretty, "the national review." and cnbc contributor jim peth kooukis of the american enterprise institute. byron york writes in the washington examiner that the campaign is running on empty. a.b. sto
